I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed. ~ Psalm 34:4-5

The Anchor of My Soul

A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more. ~ Robert Murray M’Cheyne

M'Cheyne understood what it is to kneel before the Lord in prayer. There is nothing like prayer to give you a healthy dose of reality. In those moments your carefully created persona and god-like self-image are dreadfully stripped away and you stand there naked and exposed. In this state you see who you really are...nothing more and nothing less. Thank God that we can be clothed in Christ's righteousness! Those who trust in Him need never be ashamed because their sin is taken away. What Christ has bought let no one despise.

About Me

I’m a Christian, a pastor’s wife and mother. I have a a B.A. in music with a minor in dance, and have always enjoyed the arts. Against all odds, I fell in love with a cowboy and am forever thankful that the size of his belt-buckle didn’t deter me. Together we have three sons and call Calvary Grace Church in Calgary, Canada, our home. This blog is a public journal of all that God is teaching me, most recently through flood and disease. I also like to record foretastes of heaven in everyday life.
